Especially if you are using a dual-boot setup, you may have an NTFS partition for your shared data. Are your development files placed there? By default the NTFS partition is mounted with “root” as user. Check whether this is the case:user@system:~$ ls -lah /media/drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8.0K Sep 6 13:50 data
In my case this was causing the installation error. For different error sources read this page. The owner problem is solved by editing “/etc/fstab”:

gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

Edit the line for the specific partition or add a new one, for example:# dataUUID=5A1E2B642B59C3C8 /media/data ntfs uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022,exec 0 2

to get the UUID of your partition, use sudo blkid

uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022,exec are used to set your username and group as owner of the partition (details) and to set the permission attributes to read, write and execute for the owner and read and execute for everyone else (details)

Try again to setup the documentation in your meteor directory:cd docs/meteor…[[[[[ /media/data/Development/meteor/docs ]]]]]
